MIT Technology Review Announces 2020 EmTech Digital Conference, March 23-25
Leaders from Google, Walmart, IBM, and more will gather in San Francisco to discuss the latest trends and concerns in artificial intelligence technologies.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, MIT Technology Review announced its annual west coast conference on emerging digital technologies, EmTech Digital 2020, which will take place March 23-25 at the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco. Part of the esteemed EmTech Event Series, the conference is the outlet's signature event on artificial intelligence (AI) and business leadership. This year, EmTech Digital will focus on trust; the most talked about issues in AI today - deepfakes, bias, explainability, privacy - all have trust as a common denominator. Establishing trust is a mandatory requirement for AI adoption.  Those who forgo trust put their brand reputation at risk.
